INSPIRATION - A MountainWings Original

Inspiration
============

A MountainWings subscriber asked me,
"Where do you get your inspiration?"

That was a MountainWings Moment.

Often a question can focus thoughts as you struggle to direct your mind to provide the answer.

A simple and correct answer is that inspiration comes from God. Sure it does but He sends it through different paths. The paths can be intense beauty, unbearable pain, or anything in between. Both extremes inspire.

In the original language, "inspire" means to "breathe in." The word inspire consists of two English words, "in" and "spire". "Spire" is the peak or pinnacle of something. "In" is just that.

Real inspiration comes from the God given ability (sent or breathed through us) to see the peak, the pinnacle, the best of the thing, that either you are in or that's in you.

It's not all about a beautiful field of daffodils. It's not all about a war torn battleground.

It's about you being able to see the best and the good of the thing that you are in or that's in you.

MountainWings Moments have changed the way that I view things. The MountainWings Moments have not changed what happens, only the way that I view them.

I can get inspired now in so much. Those that write and say how much MountainWings blesses them inspires me. Those that write and say it's absolute nonsense inspires me.

One extreme lets you know how far you've traveled. The other extreme lets you know how far you have to go.

The road traveled and road to travel are both inspiring.

As a MountainWings reader you too will change. You will become the inspirer.

One day, maybe in the not too distant future, a co-worker, a relative, a congregation member, a friend, a child, will turn and ask someone close to them, "I wonder where they get their inspiration?"

It really won't be from MountainWings.
MountainWings is just a path, not a destination.

It will be from within.
That's where all God given paths eventually lead.
To the kingdom of Heaven within.

It's full of inspiration. Breathe it in.
